As one Dad to another, I switched to iNAV after watching Pawel, put his KZread presentation on hold, while he calmly and patiently talked to his child that had interrupted him. My father always said know your vendor, and this was an indication to me that there are good people behind iNAV. I installed it on a quad and a fixed wing and I’m amazed at how simple the transition from Betaflight was. Thank you for everything!

​@@FPVUniversityhi spy so im very confused with the magnetometer orintation. My module has no direction signs. So i will just install it exactly as seen in inav. Or does the red arrow have to be pointing forward at all times. For example do I set it up in inav axactly likr it is in real life. Or do i set it up with the arrow pointing forward at all time in inav the littpe red arrow

Even though I'm pretty comfortable with GPS setup on INAV, I ALWAYS get value from Pawel's videos!

Thank you, thank you thank you! I'm on iNav 7.0 and I followed each step and it worked a treat. Stopped my toilet bowling and RTH worked beautifully.

I see not many have made videos to explain on how to make the RTH more configurable. I am trying to figure out how to make the first trigger of going up very fast then return at a much greater speed. I will be flying in HUGE waves and want to be able to hit the RTH or get a failsafe and the drone shoots up in the air then returns home before battery dies. The way its now its way to slow :-D Im sure there are commands to get this done.. Thank you! @@FPVUniversity

I have a question, is there a mode that you can implement where if the drone moves, it will stay in the position you moved it to? Like a constant position hold? Similar to that of a high end dji drone?

Hello , thx for this great Video , I wanted to ask if I could get in Touch with you anyhow to ask some specific questions about inav ??

So you have to combine position hold with altitude hold, ie position hold only fixes lat and long, not altitude? The disarm works automatically, mentioned at 6:20? Thanks for the info, useful video.

Thanks for the video. It works great on my INAV builds. One suggestion maybe for another video: I have read that for FCs with no SDA SCL pads it may be possible to remap UART3 to I2C because this pin on the chip can both(?) Is this correct and how is it done?

I have a question, I have tested position hold and alt hold, and in most cases, it worked fine but sometimes I had a situation when drone started to circle around position and these circles started to bigger and bigger and I needed to turn off position hold and turn on again after which it usually stabilizes. do you know a possible reason for this? could you please suggest steps how to fix it?

This is really great information. I have a question, is the matek m8q 5883 just really good? so it doesn’t need to be mounted in a mast to avoid compass interference ? Will it get out of calibration often since it’s so close? I just have seen so many people use a mast to avoid compass interference issues. Struggled with it in the past myself.
